Valtrex dose of 500mg/3Xday normal?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have an 8.5 y.o. child who weighs about 65 lbs. The DAN doctor

recommended we put him on 500 mg of Valtrex 3 times a day

(1500mg/day). My question is: do any of you have older kids that are

on such a dose or does that sound way too high? He told me that

younger, lighter kids are typically on 250mg/3times/day, so I supposed

it makes sense to make ours higher, but it's still something I'd like

some feedback on from others who have btdt.

Thanks!
